What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-11320H, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
